It is not uncommon to see orcs and goblins mixed up in the ranks of the Imperial Army, but aside the Imperial Stormtroopers there is another breed of soldier that strikes fear in both friend and foe alike. Larger cousins to the orc, Black Orcs stand between 6 and 7 feet tall on average. These orcs are larger, tougher, and more muscular than normal orcs, and definitely far more so than your average human. Their armor is both effective yet crude (helmet design based a bit off German WW2 style, as well as a gladiatorial look as they use one side of their body to fight while shooting from the hip).

Equipment-wise, they are armed with a crude MG-13 model machine gun with a reinforced stock. Due to their formidable strength, they can wield these weapons as standard issue rifles, and the weapon (due to weight and size) also serves as a club in close quarters to bash their foes. They are also equipped with Model 24 grenades to throw when going in for the attacks (being a normal pineapple grenade and small pin would be too 'delicate' and small for their large hands to fiddle with).

While attached to Army Groups, most Black Orcs operate under the fearless watch of the Stormtroopers, who are unafraid of their brutish attitude and whom earn the respect of these warriors.
